His current mission: helping me publicize this weekend's yard sale. 😆🐾

#GSD #GermanShepherds #DogsOfBluesky

Voelker is getting ready to help me with signing some books. Since the story is about his family, it seems like more people want his Pawtograph than my signature. But... hey... whatever it takes, right? 🐾😎🐾

It's almost full lilac season in #Michigan, so Happy #Friday, y'all! I wish I could attach the scent to this post. 😎 🙃

This ( exhausted, out-of-shape) cat... looking like poorly-mixed pancake batter, complete with ear curl? Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's channeling every human in this house tonight. What a week.

#CatsOfMastodon #AlmostFriday

We have very happy pollinators these days. All the apple trees are in full bloom and it's quite a show--complete with a heavy buzzing soundtrack! Alas, I lack the photography skills to get a shot that really shows the overview.

Five years ago today. Here's #GSD Wylie, my very last service dog trainee... one of the real-life dogs behind the fictional story in my new book, "Shepherds of our Hearts." (www.amazon.com/Shepherds-Ou...). Shared with the owner's full approval--he loves for people to see his dog.

I might have to start posting a nightly #GermanShepherd photo until I succeed in finding all my people. This is "Thunder," who was born to two of my own dogs a long time ago. He was a drive fireball & worked with a SAR team in Georgia until age 11. This photo was from his early team training.

In my world, it is #MonDog. So here's young Ajo, who says he's ready for summer. I'm on his side. Time for the snow to go away and mud to dry up!

I'm still looking for #GermanShpeherd people! 😀

I need emergency #puppy pics. I don't see many, so I'm going to post some in hopes of priming the pump. 🐶 Meet some long-ago dogs from my past, all of which grew up to be service dogs: Rhythm & River (left) and Uno (right). Where are your pics?? 😀

Only two now... I'm getting old! There was a day when I had a dozen at a time. 4-5 was probably about minimum for most of my life.

Puppy pics are always good, maybe especially on the weekend when I'm trying to uncramp my mind anyway. Here are baby shots of the boys in my profile pic. Same L-R as above: Voelker about 5wks, Ajo about 9wks. Both already looking remarkably like their own personalities. 😆

Time for some dog pics, because... well... just BECAUSE. The boys are tired of my endless typing and demand I play some games.

Here's a photo most of my IRL friends will recognize from the far past--again, just to distinguish this account from being a bot, hacked acct, or clone, which have been issues here. 😐
